I Fagiolini

about

See I Fagiolini [Ensemble] & Robert Hollingworth [Director]. I Fagiolini is an ensemble of immaculate musicianship, specialising in Renaissance vocal music (though they also perform contemporary works). Their style is dramatic and exciting, bringing out the rich emotional span of Renaissance poetry and music (‘First-rate musical actors… quite gorgeous…’ American Record Guide). The Full Monteverdi, their film of Monteverdi madrigals using singers paired with actors is being shown on TV all over Europe. ‘I Fagiolini was founded in 1986 while the singers were students at Oxford University. In 1988 the group won the UK Early Music Network’s Young Artists’ Competition. …it has pioneered innovative staged presentations with a project called The Theatre of Music, which bring classics of Renaissance secular music to life.’ (http://www.ifagiolini.com) User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
